Boys Dormitory

The Boys Dormitory is the perfect honeymoon or self-catering romantic break destination

The Boys Dormitory is a spacious 95 sq mtr, one bedroom penthouse apartment. It sits on the vaulted top floor of the old monastery in Loch Ness, with huge arched stone mullioned windows. The apartment is one of only a few in the entire abbey to enjoy views in three directions because every window offers sensational views of the landscape.

Boys Dormitory decor is in the most luxurious style. It combines quality antique and modern furnishings, featuring Victorian floorboards, antique paintings and prints, and vintage lighting sourced from a local chapel. Consequently, wonderful attention to detail has been paid throughout. It is the most idyllic place. Also, it is a far cry from when up to forty boarding students would share what was the original junior boys school dormitory, located between the Abbot’s chapel and a lovely bell tower.

Spacious, well lit and breath taking

The bright and airy large living room and open plan kitchen area offers the very finest level of comfort including designer sofas. The view from the large arched stone mullioned living room window straight up the loch is truly spectacular: a perfect seat to while away the afternoon reading a good novel, or watching for the legendary Loch Ness Monster.

The gorgeous master bedroom features another massive stone mullioned arched window. This is overlooking the Cloister Gardens, the turrets and towers of the Abbey, and the mountains beyond. Watching the stars at night from the comfort of your bed through this fantastic window is a magical experience. King-sized antique brass and iron bed, Victorian oak church pew, luxurious bed linens, choice of feather or fiber pillows, therefore offering total relaxation and comfort for the duration of your stay.

Boys Dormitory is at the top of three flights of stairs (75 steps) with no lift access. The climb is well worth the effort, as the views are amongst the best in the abbey.
